`conceal` is a quite common word in the English language, and is considered by pretty much all lexical analyzers to be a reasonably low-complexity English word. Both `conceal` and `concealment` are used more in English than `obscure` is, and by a fairly considerable margin in both ngram analysis as well as Google search results. It is far, far more common than words already in CSS such as "ligature" or even "opacity". While I think "obscure" is a fine choice, as a word it sees less use than "conceal" in English. That said, "obscure" does have more similar-sounding words in romance languages. I think either would be fine. As for `display` or `input-display`, `display` already has a meaning in CSS, and it covers whether or not to show/render something. Password fields do show something, it's just concealed by dots or asterisks. -- GitHub Notification of comment by april Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6449#issuecomment-880235350 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
